Experienced Pet Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have grown up with and taken care of a variety of cats and dogs (big, small, young, old) my whole life, making me comfortable and well equipped to handle any kind of pet. Recently I had been fostering cats for the local animal shelter (my building is strict on dog breeds) but am looking to interact with dogs as well! I am a big animal lover but can't afford to have one of my own! Recently graduated from college and have a surplus of free time while I am in the process of job searching and interviewing. I currently work part-time remotely with flexible hours and am looking to make some extra money in the meantime. Similarly to dogs, I enjoy long walks and being outside in the park. Your dog will get undivided attention and the upmost care while under my supervision, plus lots of playtime to get any excess energy out before the day ends. I am also comfortable taking care of cats and have experience cleaning out litter boxes.

Dakota was an amazing cat sitter and took prefect care of my cat with a disability. She provided regular updates and left my home very clean. I will be booking her again in the future

Dakota has been surrounded by animals her entire life; she thrives on making them feel comfortable, loved and fulfilled. Dakota is hard working, responsible and attentive. Any animal would have excellent care under her supervision.

Dakota has been around dogs her whole life. She grew up in a dog-loving household with large, active dogs as well as smaller breeds such as a King Charles Cavalier. She has the perfect temperament to handle all types of dogs. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.

Information Dakota H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what kind of routine your dog is used to or if they have certain favorite spot they like to visit. I would also like to know how they typically interact with/get along with other dogs and people that way I can be cognizant when taking care of them. Their favorite treat or spot to be scratched is always a helpful tip!

A typical day

I have always enjoyed playing catch or chase with my dogs growing up. It is a great way to get them running around and burn out any excess energy they may have. Tug of war or any other type of toys is another fun way to stimulate a dog, or even practicing commands. I prefer long walks in either parks or down quiet streets, this way your dog can explore and smell different areas.
